Jacquelyn (Jackie) Burns

Jacquelyn (Jackie) Burns is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on concerns such as relationship trouble, anger, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addiction, and coping with life changes. Jackie aims to create a calm, listening presence so people can speak openly about what is hardest for them.

Jackie believes people hold inner resources that help them heal and make changes. She uses that belief to shape individualized plans rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions look at the person’s concerns and goals, and Jackie helps shape practical steps toward better balance in daily life.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Jackie invites honest conversation and focuses on dignity and respect. She pays attention to emotional patterns, relationships, and how past experiences influence current behavior.

Jackie draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including client-centered work, narrative ideas, psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused strategies. She uses these methods to help people tell their stories differently, recognize recurring patterns, and try small, manageable changes that can make a real difference.

With 17 years of counseling experience and a lifetime of professional contact with people, Jackie combines practical guidance with thoughtful listening. She works with people to repair what’s causing pain and to find clearer direction, greater self-understanding, and steadier emotional balance.

How Jackie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, accepting space. It helps people explore feelings and make choices that match their values. Narrative therapy helps people tell the story of their life in new ways by separating problems from the person and noticing alternative meanings. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring emotional patterns and how past experiences shape present behavior, which can be useful for relationship and anger issues.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Jackie will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas fit best for their goals and personality. That exploration is gradual and guided by what the person finds helpful in session.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as joining from work during a break, attending from home when travel is difficult, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is tight. Many people find this flexibility helps them maintain consistency while working on anger, relationships, or stress.
